linfa (Italian) / sap (English):
The vital circulating fluid of a plant.
linfa aims to provide a comprehensive toolkit to build Machine Learning applications with Rust.
Kin in spirit to Python's scikit-learn, it focuses on common preprocessing tasks and classical ML algorithms for your everyday ML tasks.
Where does linfa stand right now? Are we learning yet?
linfa currently provides sub-packages with the following algorithms:
| Name | Purpose | Status | Category | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :---| :--- | :---| | clustering | Data clustering | Tested / Benchmarked | Unsupervised learning | Clustering of unlabeled data; contains K-Means, Gaussian-Mixture-Model and DBSCAN | | kernel | Kernel methods for data transformation | Tested | Pre-processing | Maps feature vector into higher-dimensional space| | linear | Linear regression | Tested | Partial fit | Contains Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Generalized Linear Models (GLM) | | elasticnet | Elastic Net | Tested | Supervised learning | Linear regression with elastic net constraints | | logistic | Logistic regression | Tested | Partial fit | Builds two-class logistic regression models | reduction | Dimensionality reduction | Tested | Pre-processing | Diffusion mapping and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) | | trees | Decision trees | Experimental | Supervised learning | Linear decision trees | svm | Support Vector Machines | Tested | Supervised learning | Classification or regression analysis of labeled datasets | | hierarchical | Agglomerative hierarchical clustering | Tested | Unsupervised learning | Cluster and build hierarchy of clusters | | bayes | Naive Bayes | Tested | Supervised learning | Contains Gaussian Naive Bayes | | ica | Independent component analysis | Tested | Unsupervised learning | Contains FastICA implementation |
We believe that only a significant community effort can nurture, build, and sustain a machine learning ecosystem in Rust - there is no other way forward.
If this strikes a chord with you, please take a look at the roadmap and get involved!
At the moment you can choose between the following BLAS/LAPACK backends: openblas, netblas or intel-mkl
|Backend | Linux | Windows | macOS | |:--------|:-----:|:-------:|:-----:| |OpenBLAS |✔️ |- |- | |Netlib |✔️ |- |- | |Intel MKL|✔️ |✔️ |✔️ |
For example if you want to use the system IntelMKL library for the PCA example, then pass the corresponding feature:
cd linfa-reduction && cargo run --release --example pca --features linfa/intel-mkl-system
This selects the intel-mkl system library as BLAS/LAPACK backend. On the other hand if you want to compile the library and link it with the generated artifacts, pass intel-mkl-static.
